NMB48 announces single debut [Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo]

As announced during the Minogashita Kimitachi e Concert in TDC Hall on June 4, NMB48 will release their first single Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo (絶滅黒髪少女 roughly translated as extinct dark-haired girl or extinction of dark-haired girls) on July 20th.

The single will come in three versions: Type A and B including a trading card and a handshake ticket (First press only); and a Theater Version including an individual handshake ticket.

According to some sources the Senbatsu members are all the Team N members and one of the B-sides will be Seishun no Lap Time.

This news made me really excited. I am writing about NMB48 since the announcement of their stage debut last December and now they have made it until their debut single. I cannot help but feel a bit proud.

By the way, the group's management has thought of some special "punishment". If the girls fail to take the Nr. 1 spot on Oricon, they will have to perform a stage show in bloomers!
